About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

1 Surging Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 We Avoid

COCO Cover Image

Exciting developments are taking place for the stocks in this article. They’ve all surged ahead of the broader market over the last month as catalysts such as new products and positive media coverage have propelled their returns.

However, not all companies with momentum are long-term winners, and many investors have lost money by following short-term trends. All that said, here is one stock with the fundamentals to back up its performance and two best left ignored.

Two Momentum Stocks to Sell:

Organon (OGN)

One-Month Return: +8.4%

Spun off from Merck in 2021 to create a company dedicated to addressing unmet needs in women's health, Organon (NYSE: OGN) is a global healthcare company focused on improving women's health through prescription therapies, medical devices, biosimilars, and established medicines.

Why Does OGN Worry Us?

  1. Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 2.6% annually over the last five years
  2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
  3. 25.6 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position

Organon’s stock price of $10.21 implies a valuation ratio of 2.6x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including OGN in your portfolio.

EchoStar (SATS)

One-Month Return: +18.8%

Following its 2023 acquisition of DISH Network, EchoStar (NASDAQ: SATS) provides satellite communications, pay-TV services, wireless networks, and broadband solutions across consumer and enterprise markets.

Why Is SATS Risky?

  1. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 8.1% annually
  2. 10.8 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
  3. Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution

At $73.40 per share, EchoStar trades at 15.3x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why SATS doesn’t pass our bar.

One Momentum Stock to Watch:

Vita Coco (COCO)

One-Month Return: +11.9%

Founded in 2004 followed by a 2021 IPO, The Vita Coco Company (NASDAQ: COCO) offers coconut water products that are a natural way to quench thirst.

Why Do We Watch COCO?

  1. Average unit sales growth of 7.8% over the past two years reflects steady demand for its products
  2. Earnings growth has trumped its peers over the last three years as its EPS has compounded at 195% annually
  3. Stellar returns on capital showcase management’s ability to surface highly profitable business ventures, and its returns are climbing as it finds even more attractive growth opportunities

Vita Coco is trading at $40 per share, or 30.9x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
